Provision for your Children in Morillon 1100m, Les Esserts (winter only) or in Samoens Village Centre (summer & winter) 

Morillon has received recognition as a “Children’s Resort” by Ski France for its infrastructure, and the quality and diversity of the equipment, activities and entertainment that it provides for children. The village of Morillon has recently carried out a number of improvements in order to guarantee the comfort and safety of children.

Nursery and Ski School/Ski Initiation at “Le Village des Enfants” and “Le Jardin des Neiges” is delightfully French, well kept and fun. “Le Village des Enfants” welcomes your children between the ages of 6 months to 10 years throughout the winter season. Situated at Morillon 1100m, Les Esserts, “Le Village des Enfants” is in the heart of the resort, allowing you to drop your children off en route to the slopes. It accommodates your children under the responsibility and supervision of qualified nurses and nannies, 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm.

The “Jardin des Neiges”, adjoined to “Le Village des Enfants”, is situated within close proximity of the Ski School meeting points. An enclosed area of 5000m², equipped with a drag lift, has been designed to initiate young, beginner skiers to make their first descents in total security. Children can play and learn in a professional and secure environment, tutored by highly experienced and qualified French Ski School instructors. ZigZag, Ski Session and ESF offer children’s tuition for children aged from 3 years up. Please see their separate websites for further details and prices.

There are also dedicated toboggon slopes and entertainment and competitions for children throughout the season. Sledges of various styles and sizes can be easily hired.
